The second semesfer afforded even closer relafions and friendliness. The soffball field was fhe scene of our greafesf friumph as an all-sfar feam of Freshmen defeafed 'rhe inframural champions of fhe Sophomore Class. On May 8fh we accumulafed a winning number of poinfs in fhe fraclr and field evenfs even if mosf of us were a dusfy and bedraggled lof af fhe end of fhe day. Thaf evening fhe fownies and dorm men gof fogefher af a picnic supper for fhe firsf fime, followed by informal cro- quef mafches, and finally a social during which fhe day's champions were given Arnold lceys. On July 3rd we bid "goodbies," "see you nexf year," and ofher such idioms, going our own way for a summer of relaxafion and recupera- fion. As fhe vacafion days dwindled, leffers of insfrucfion arrived, and we began 'ro gef anxious for fhe renewal of old friendships and fhe famil- iar campus of old A.C.H.P.E. By Sepfember 22nd we were ready and waifing for regisfrafion day. lmmediafely affer exchanging greefings and quiffing fhe rigors of regisfrafion we were anxious fo learn whom our secfion mafes would be, and learn if we had fhe "easy" or "'rough" profs, wifh whom we were acquainfed from 'rhe previous ferms. Amazingly soon we wenf back fo worlc on fhe books in earnesfg and fhough we foolc fime off fo cheer on fhe foofball feam and go 'ro fwo or fhree dances, fhe necessify for sfudy was culminafed by an avalanche of ferm papers which, if seemed, we pondered over for efernifies. A Chrisfmas recess helped, buf fhen-exams again. lf seemed as if some invisible force had placed a silencer over fhe school for fwo weelcs. The Library sfaff was lcepf busy and all available Library space occupied. H' seems, however, fhaf each day brings our class closer fogefher and sfrengfhens fhe bonds of friendship and spirif. As each day passes fhe fhoughf of fhe acfivify in fhe nexf is an elixir which expands our com- pafabilify as a class and fills our hearfs wifh gladness because we are members of 'rhe Sophomore class of Arnold College.
